An ode to the blog-o-sphere:

{january 2012.my red lips.}

thank you for giving me a space to come into my own.

your unending support

your tips & tricks that seem to make everyday life a bit more bearable

your shared tales of heartache & triumph

your achieved dreams

your defeats

your most beautiful moments

thank you for teaching me how to rock red lipstick

but more importantly

for giving me the courage to do so

because without your sass, your wisdom, your brilliant blogs & comments
i don't quite know what kind of girl i'd be

but since i sat down at the keyboard one fateful day & happened upon this lovely community
well, i'd say i'm right on track to becoming the kind of woman i have whole-heartedly come to admire

& if i manage to be even half as strong, voraciously dedicated and compassionate as you are, dear blog-o-sphere, i'd say i would be forever indebted to your inspiration

with utmost gratefulness & love,
Anna

a perfect prelude to spring.

oh mustard yellow tights, please grace my nearly-translucent-they're-so-pale-legs as lovely as you do this chic lady.

WICKED.

whew! i finally updated my portfolio/professional site. i still need to tweak a few things, but i'm pretty stoked with the results.  i'm getting pretty antsy with this whole graduating concept- i've got resumes & applications on my mind all the time. when did this all get so real?

also: as well as blog design, i'd love to help you create a portfolio site of your own. just get in touch (aeallen@gmail.com) & we can work on a rad site to represent you!
